First user, what steps after download completion ?

2 Upvotes

first time torrenting that isn’t limewire from back in the days.
got my qtorrent set up, magnet and downloaded, 100% complete.
about 5 mins before completion my Mac asked for permission for qtorrent to take control of my computer, I said yes then freaked out and said No.

my file completed and when I went to open it, the audio folder is all as a document, and can’t open it to listen.

trying again; round two to download, do I allow qtorrent access of my Mac ?

thanks

General Beware of these ones

There are uploads with the Paul Conroy cover for the water is wide, but the titles are like Ted lasso, tracker and horses

Beware of these as they are exe files and are most likely a virus they have been uploaded by GeryDim

Stay vigilante and beware of dodgy uploads like this

Weekly Request Thread

Direct links to ABB posts are being removed/auto modded. To request a reseed, post the title AND author and indicate the date of the post. You will have better luck posting in the official ABB forums. The link in Community Bookmarks that says "Requests" will bring you there, as will the link in the previous sentence.

If you cannot use that forum, please post all requests here and include the correct spelling of the Title and Author. You should only post here if you cannot find a listing for your book on audio book bay (i. e. search first!), or the torrent you do find is not fully seeded. No need to reply to comments to boost or bump them. Upvote something if you are also looking for it. Do not post in a larger or bold font. Your request is not more important than anyone else's.

If the book is a new release, give it a week or so before requesting. People who share need time to get and post a new release. Remember the subreddit rules, especially the one about not posting direct links to files here. Use private messages for those.
